Public bug reported: Passing LANGUAGE="ar_MA.utf8" LANG="ar_MA.utf8" to the toolkit gallery doesn't change the layout direction, adding some debug statements gives me :
QGuiApplication::layoutDirection() : Qt::LayoutDirection(LeftToRight) QLocale::system().name() : "ar_MA" Forcing the RTL layout in src/UbuntuToolkit/ucapplication.cpp makes the layoutDirection to change to Qt::LayoutDirection(RightToLeft) : QGuiApplication::setLayoutDirection(Qt::RightToLeft); after that i get the correct value : QGuiApplication::layoutDirection() : Qt::LayoutDirection(RightToLeft) QLocale::system().name() : "ar_MA" ** Affects: ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1667157 Title: Toolkit doesn't change the layout when using an RTL language To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1667157/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
